§ 01Overview
What the DS-2CD2387G2H-LISU/SL is
Lens options: 2.8mm or 4mm focal length.
Note: Please indicate your choice in your order message.
The DS-2CD2387G2H-LISU/SL is the deterrence model most buyers actually want from the 8MP ColorVu range: the strobe, the audible warnings and two-way audio, on a standard 802.3af PoE port at 10.5W, no PoE+ planning and no switch upgrades.
The imaging is the full Smart Hybrid Light package in 4K (3840 by 2160): an F1.0 lens rated 0.0008 lux in colour, with three night modes, white light for 24/7 colour, infrared for discretion, or smart mode that holds IR until a person or vehicle is detected and captures the event in colour.
Cross a line or zone and the strobe fires with a warning through the speaker (lab-rated 95dB at 10cm); the built-in mic completes two-way audio through Hik-Connect, and alarm plus audio line in and out handle integration.
What the step up to the G3 buys: arrayed dual mics, a louder 110dB speaker, NEMA 4X salt-air rating, EIS and a brighter 0.0005 lux rating, at the cost of a PoE+ port.
Identification runs to about 8 metres with the 2.8mm lens or 10 metres with the 4mm; 512GB MicroSD backup, metal IP67 housing.

§ 04Why choose this
Built for the way you actually use the DS-2CD2387G2H-LISU/SL
4K colour when it counts
Smart mode's trick: discreet IR all night, then full-colour 4K capture the moment a person steps in, the frame that identifies a jacket, not a grey shape.
Three night strategies, switchable
White light for 24/7 colour, infrared for discretion, smart mode for both, changed from the app rather than the ladder.
When to spend more
Honest guidance: the G3 adds dual mics, a louder speaker, a salt-air-rated housing and a brighter 0.0005 lux sensor, worth it on the coast or where audio evidence matters. This model does the core job for less.
§ 05Where it fits
Right at home in these scenarios
Driveways and front approaches
Smart mode holds infrared until a person steps in, then lights them in colour and warns them off, evidence and intervention in one event.
Porch and parcel theft
A spoken warning at the letterbox beats reviewing footage of a parcel leaving, and two-way audio handles the courier conversation live.
Retrofits on existing NVRs
Standard PoE means it drops into the recorder you already own, no switch upgrades to add a deterrence corner.
Shopfronts after close
The strobe through the glass and a warning at the door buy time before anyone commits, check your state's rules before enabling audio recording.
§ 06Setup
Installation & setup
What's in the Box
1. Hikvision DS-2CD2387G2H-LISU/SL Camera × 1 2. Drill Template and Screw Kit × 1 3. Quick Start Guide × 1
Installation Requirements
1. Power: any 802.3af PoE NVR port or switch (max 10.5W). A separate 12V DC adapter is only needed without PoE. 2. Network: a wired Ethernet run back to your NVR or switch, PoE carries power and video together on the same line. 3. Mounting: solid wall, ceiling or eave at 2.5 to 3 metres, with the base sealed against the surface, the housing is IP67-rated for exposed positions.
App Setup
1. Activate the camera with a strong password on first connection, then add it to the Hik-Connect app via QR code. 2. Enable push notifications so human and vehicle alerts reach your phone, and pick your lighting mode (white, infrared or smart). 2b. Pick the warning tone or record your own message, and schedule strobe and audio so deterrence sleeps when you do. 3. Draw line crossing and intrusion zones tight to your own property through the camera's web interface, with target type set to human and vehicle.

Recommended packages
Step up for the coast
The G3 adds dual mics, a louder 110dB speaker, NEMA 4X salt-air rating and EIS, budget a PoE+ port for it.
One mount, wider view?
The G2P panoramic sweeps 180 degrees from a single position for a verandah or forecourt.
Build it into a kit
Our 8MP ColorVu kits pair M-series NVRs with a surveillance drive, the G3 is the kit camera; add this model for corners that need to answer back on standard PoE.
The 6MP version
For this exact model at 6MP, see the 2367 G2H-LISU/SL, the value pick where 4K is not needed.
